I’ve never seen or heard of the missing post editor. Are you sure it was here? Anyway

I too find it a pita to post here and I already know html basics but don’t always remember every html tag so sometimes I have to go look one up. Regardless of knowing, it is more typing to get things to look how you want.

Solution: Keep another tab open with one of the many free online wysiwyg editors that have the ability to toggle between wysiwyg and source(html view).
Here’s one;

I found it by searching the interwebs like this;
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=online+html+editor+wysiwyg&t=ffab&ia=web

Search term; online html editor wysiwyg

Enjoy!

As Elderberry linked to; the editor gets installed and is a godsend. I already had the Greasemonkey Addon, FR Tree Viewer, and Killfile (designed to block unwanted posters but it's not working currently on my system).

The FR Form Enhancer from cynwoody (Thank You!): http://cynwoody.appspot.com/fr_posting_form_enhancer.html

Tree Viewer with handy Quote feature: http://cynwoody.appspot.com/fr_tree_viewer.html#installation

These things work in Firefox and one of them works in Chrome with some finagling but not sure how much. Again, the use of the "P" button between paragraphs or between a paragraph and an image cleans it up nicely to make it look like it should. It was pretty much the only thing different than using any other forum editing software. For those of us who don't like to code/html this is the next best way to edit a post and add images. Having a template, which I used for a year or more, is another option but a distant 3rd to cynwoody's editing software. The Quote feature gets used a lot by me too. I click on it and voila; I can see the post that person is responding to just above it. Yes, I could also click on "To", but this easier and less cumbersome. The idea is to slowly but surely improve things over time. No one expects it to happen overnight but some progress is always expected up to a point.
